Busch Trio - "Vollendung"
"A piano trio that is much more than just a promise." The Times
The Busch Trio has the rare gift of making very different emotions of great chamber music works palpable with force. In one moment they conjure up light, only to descend into dreamlike depths in the next, nuanced and without compromise.
Joseph Haydn, Johannes Brahms, and Ludwig van Beethoven poured all of their passion into the genre of piano trios. Joseph Haydn composed for this genre until 1796 - 13 years before his death - after having created 45 works.
Beethoven entered the (official) stage of his work with op. 1, which included three already completed piano trios, followed by seven more. He did not consider three earlier works good enough to include them in his catalogue.
Brahms pushed his perfectionism to the extreme and in 1889 heavily revised his youthful composition from 1854, in order to finally complete this important trio for him after 35 years. In his typical laconic style, he wrote to his publisher: "With regard to the revised trio, I must expressly say that the old one is certainly bad, but I do not claim that the new one is good! (...) I only mean that the old one will continue to sell badly, not because of its many ugly aspects, but because of its many useless difficulties."
Whether in London, Amsterdam, Paris, Stuttgart, Toblach, or Munich, the Amsterdam Piano Trio never fails to impress the European chamber music scene with its gripping interpretations, youthful enthusiasm, and simultaneously distinguished charm.
